Rory Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's really cheap, whats the postage on that? Have you asked them to mark it as a gift so you don't get hit with tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashead Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thats including the postage. $198.81 in total. $15 discount at the mo. No vat this end on RC parts so maybe a bit on postage over here. BTW that works out at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 No VAT....but 20% duty payable if HMRC catch it. Plus a handling fee. Worst case scenario still leaves you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I have a savage x which needs a new engine was thinking of the hpi k5.9,what would you guys recommend,thanks I rate the k5.9 as being a good engine. I'm on my second one in my savage xl the first one lasted for a long time with over 12gallons of fuel through it with no problems. They both seemed to keep a good tune and have great amount of low end power and a good top end. The only gripe I have is how fast it drinks the nitro fuel but, if you worried about the amount of fuel you will use take a bigger bottle.

I also rate the r36 force as mine has been absolutely spot on stupidly fast. Sent from my HTC One max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
